There is a growing recognition in India of the significant role nonformal adult education can play in achieving national and individual developmental objectives. Traditional formal education with its greatest benefits for a small elitist group will not contribute significantly toward the resolution of major socioeconomic problems. Adult education is an important existing strategy that can be further developed as a major nonformal strategy. Currently, adult education is beginning to assume two...

When we reflect on the emergence of online education and e-learning as the leading contender to confront the traditions of face-to-face teaching and learning, it is not only a case of better understanding the characteristics of online environments, but also timely to assess the relevance of theories and frameworks informing the design and implementation of those environments. Over the past twenty five years, the value of technology to education has been a significant focus of teachers, learners...

New Learning is an innovative process, aimed at collaborative learning in professional and scholarly events, that we suggest may be the "next generation" of evaluation. In this manuscript we review the literature of evaluation, describe what new learning is and how it works, and then compare and contrast it with traditional evaluation methods and theory. We conclude with implications for future application and research. (Contains 1 table.)

Middle level educators can't always define it succinctly, but they know courageous, collaborative leadership when they see it. Examples of courageous leadership can range from a cancer-stricken teacher who inspires a whole school, to an educator who makes little strides by modeling the art of "hanging out" for students for whom social interaction is an anxiety-laden mystery. Courage is evident in teachers and administrators who fight in big struggles to keep schools adhering to the...
